"Ok. Gottit. Summary. Write a good one. With good grammar. Cool. Thanks, bye!"

Annabeth laughed. "We're not done yet, Seaweed Brain. I have tons more to tell you."

Percy groaned.

"What are you going to write about?" Annabeth asked.

"My quest of awesomeness when I was twelve."

"Our quest of awesomeness."

"So you agree it was awesome?"

"Of course it was! I was in it."

"True."

2. Structure and Format

Structure and format is an important part of writing. Some ways just look prettier than others. It makes it easier to read. I know, I know, I've been talking about it looking pretty a lot, but it's true. Writing is a form of art. People like the pretty ones more.

Here's what Percy wrote in his little story.

I was twelve and young and awsom. And life was pretty awsom back then. I didn't even knw who was ataking me! Anyways, there was this realy mean teachur, her name was Mrs. Dods. Turns out she was a Kindly One. That's a nice name for a Fury. Annabeth calls that a "Eufemisome." Isn't there an instrument called a euphamisme? No..thats a Ufonium. Sriusly, how are ppl going to be able to tell that apart? Well, anyways, Grover my best and only bulied budy comes and says, "Hey, wait for me when we get home?" But of course, I don't trust him bcuz I herd Mr. Brunner and him talking about me behind my back once and it didn't sound good. So I was like, "Sure! ok!" And of course, he went to the bathrom and I ditched him. It's not my falt, how did I know he was suposed to protect me? Anyways, I get home and Mom takes me to Montauk. Escape Smely Gab for a while. I had this really weird dreem, like an eegle and a pegsus I think were fiting. I wake up and there's a storm and Grover's at the door! He tels mom two go too the car and drive really fast and she does, and Grover's really nervous. Then I find out he has fury legs and HOVES! Then our car crashes and I see this ugly guy with a nose ring and hrns. Mom tels me to go past the tree, btu then she kinda dyes and I kill the monster thingy, drag furry caross the tree line and passes out. Then I wake up and theres this girl whose just like, "Whats going on?" and i think she's pretty (It's you, Annabeth!) so Im really confused AND im staring at a pretty girl AND I'm about to pass out. So Im like, i dunno, then I black out again. When I wake up shes nt ther butt then I go outside and she looks at me and is like, "u drool when you slep." and im like thats nice.

By this time, I cut Percy's writing off because it has some major problems. We can deal with the other ones in another chapter, but right now, I'm going to focus on the format and structure.

-Never format it like:

1. I was twelve and young and awsom. And life was pretty awsom back then. I didn't even knw who was ataking me! Anyways, there was this realy mean teachur, her name was Mrs. Dods. Turns out she was a Kindly One. That's a nice name for a Fury. Annabeth calls that a "Eufemisome." Isn't there an instrument called a euphamisme? No..thats a Ufonium. Sriusly, how are ppl going to be able to tell that apart? Well, anyways, Grover my best and only bulied budy comes and says, "Hey, wait for me when we get home?" But of course, I don't trust him bcuz I herd Mr. Brunner and him talking about me behind my back once and it didn't sound good. So I was like, "Sure! ok!" And of course, he went to the bathrom and I ditched him. It's not my falt, how did I know he was suposed to protect me? Anyways, I get home and Mom takes me to Montauk. Escape Smely Gab for a while. I had this really weird dreem, like an eegle and a pegsus I think were fiting. I wake up and there's a storm and Grover's at the door! He tels mom two go too the car and drive really fast and she does, and Grover's really nervous. Then I find out he has fury legs and HOVES! Then our car crashes and I see this ugly guy with a nose ring and hrns. Mom tels me to go past the tree, btu then she kinda dyes and I kill the monster thingy, drag furry caross the tree line and passes out. Then I wake up and theres this girl whose just like, "Whats going on?" and i think she's pretty (It's you, Annabeth!) so Im really confused AND im staring at a pretty girl AND I'm about to pass out. So Im like, i dunno, then I black out again. When I wake up shes nt ther butt then I go outside and she looks at me and is like, "u drool when you slep." and im like thats nice.

It makes it hard to read sometimes and generally is just...not good.

2. I was twelve and young and awsom. And life was pretty awsom back then. I didn't even knw who was ataking me! Anyways, there was this realy mean teachur, her name

was Mrs. Dods. Turns out she was a Kindly One. That's a nice name for a Fury. Annabeth calls that a "Eufemisome." Isn't there an instrument called a euphamisme? No..thats a

Ufonium. Sriusly, how are ppl going to be able to tell that apart? Well, anyways, Grover my best and only bulied budy comes and says, "Hey, wait for me when we get home?"

But of course, I don't trust him bcuz I herd Mr. Brunner and him talking about me behind my back once and it didn't sound good. So I was like, "Sure! ok!" And of course, he

went to the bathrom and I ditched him. It's not my falt, how did I know he was suposed to protect me? Anyways, I get home and Mom takes me to Montauk. Escape Smely

Gab for a while. I had this really weird dreem, like an eegle and a pegsus I think were fiting. I wake up and there's a storm and Grover's at the door! He tels mom two go too

the car and drive really fast and she does, and Grover's really nervous. Then I find out he has fury legs and HOVES! Then our car crashes and I see this ugly guy with a nose ring

and hrns. Mom tels me to go past the tree, btu then she kinda dyes and I kill the monster thingy, drag furry caross the tree line and passes out. Then I wake up and theres this

girl whose just like, "Whats going on?" and i think she's pretty (It's you, Annabeth!) so Im really confused AND im staring at a pretty girl AND I'm about to pass out. So Im like, i

dunno, then I black out again. When I wake up shes nt ther butt then I go outside and she looks at me and is like, "u drool when you slep." and im like thats nice.

I've seen some like this before. I don't know if it's a problem with the document type they used to upload or something, but it REALLY doesn't look good. The reader often gets cut off in the middle of a sentence, and it breaks them what I now refer to as the 'reading reverie'. Search it up if you don't know what that means. I can't get lost in stories formatted like this unlike all of the PJO/HOO books I've read and some exceptional fanfictions.

3. Then there are the computer errors(thanks, Kablamstar, again). They look like:

insert/dtth/enter/hey, percy/shift/hpts:diifg/adh

insert/dtth/enter/oh, hey annabeth/shift/hpts:diifg/adh

insert/dtth/enter/what are you doing?/shift/hpts:diifg/adh

insert/dtth/enter/idk, just random stuff/shift/hpts:diifg/adh

insert/dtth/enter/ok cool/shift/hpts:diifg/adh

insert/dtth/enter/im bored, wise girl./shift/hpts:diifg/adh

It's probably a document type problem. I know you can't really see this when you upload and people don't really tell you when this happens since most just quit reading. I suggest using the copy and paste option-it works for me.

These are the bad ones I've seen often enough for me to remember it.

So how are you supposed to do it? Each topic should be separated into a different paragraph, even though it is only one line long. Usually topics are events during the same time period and details within that period.

I was twelve and young and awsom. And life was pretty awsom back then. I didn't even knw who was ataking me!

Anyways, there was this realy mean teachur, her name was Mrs. Dods. Turns out she was a Kindly One. That's a nice name for a Fury. Annabeth calls that a "Eufemisome." Isn't there an instrument called a euphamisme? No..thats a Ufonium. Sriusly, how are ppl going to be able to tell that apart?

Well, anyways, Grover my best and only bulied budy comes and says,"Hey, wait for me when we get home?" But of course, I don't trust him bcuz I herd Mr. Brunner and him talking about me behind my back once and it didn't sound good. So I was like, "Sure! ok!" And of course, he went to the bathrom and I ditched him. It's not my falt, how did I know he was suposed to protect me?

Anyways, I get home and Mom takes me to Montauk. Escape Smely Gab for a while. I had this really weird dreem, like an eegle and a pegsus I think were fiting. I wake up and there's a storm and Grover's at the door! He tels mom two go too the car and drive really fast.

She does, and Grover's really nervous. Then I find out he has fury legs and HOVES!

Then our car crashes and I see this ugly guy with a nose ring and hrns. Mom tels me to go past the tree, btu then she kinda dyes and I kill the monster thingy, drag furry caross the tree line and passes out.

Then I wake up and theres this girl whose just like, "Whats going on?" and i think she's pretty (It's you, Annabeth!) so Im really confused AND im staring at a pretty girl AND I'm about to pass out. So Im like, i dunno, then I black out again.

When I wake up shes nt ther butt then I go outside and she looks at me and is like, "u drool when you slep." and im like thats nice.

Usually, when you have quotes, you should make it its own little paragraph. In this one there's no need because there are only two quotes. Separating them into separate paragraphs are usually used for conversations.

For example,

"Hey," Annabeth said to Percy.

"Hey."

"Are you going to see that movie with us tonight?"

"I can't," Percy said. "My mom's baking blue chocolate chip cookies."

"And that's why you can't go?"

"You should never miss out on Mom's cookies!"

If you find that you have a super long paragraph, see how many time zones there are. If there is only one, then try to separate it by subject. Still only one, then there should be nothing to change and it should be okay.

Then, if you find that you have a long paragraph with two different time zones but the switch is within one sentence, such as the line,

He tels mom two go too the car and drive really fast and she does, and Grover's really nervous

The two time zones/events are when he tells Sally to go into the car and before, then when they're in the car and afterwards. What you do here is you have to make it into two sentences, and two paragraphs.

He tels mom two go too the car and drive really fast.

She does, and Grover's really nervous.

Of course, you should tweak it a bit to make it sound better and more...flowy, is that a word? no. Oh well, my language arts teacher uses it sometimes so I'm going to use it now. The sentences should flow together. When you read it, you shouldn't hesitate or pause, or anything except at the period. You shouldn't feel like something's wrong. Of course, I didn't do that there, but this is a structure and formatting chapter, so we can go to that later.

So that's it on structure and format for now!

This is just a general 'lesson' on formatting. There may be a time where there was something I didn't address, and then you can PM or ask me in the comments.

Thanks to all my readers, etc. Tell me if you've seen any other weird types of formatting, anything else I should add, or something like that. Tell me if you liked it, didn't, anything you agreed/disagreed with. And anything you want me to explain, talk, or rant about in the next chapter. Thanks!
